The story was told in reference to a monk who had killed a wild goose. Two monks bathed in Aciravatī, and while standing on the bank, drying, they saw two geese appear. The monks took a bet as to which should hit the goose in the eye, and one of them threw a stone which pierced one eye and came out of the other. The monk was reported to the Buddha.¹
